Background

Sado was born into the Yotsuki clan when his father, Yotsuki Soryuken met his mother, Yuki Hana a wandering martial artist and married her. While she was not a part of the clan originally, she was welcomed with open arms due to her skill, strength, and prowess. Because of this pairing, the usually dark skinned members of the Yotsuki clan melding with the pure white skin of his mother, Sado was born with deeply tanned looking skin, which he was often teased about growing up around other Yotsuki.

Sado was born during the year of the founding of the Hidden Villages, when times were uncertain and the fate of the clan and the Land of Lightning was completely up in the air, held together in a fragile peace. His father was overjoyed to have been given the gift of a son, but Sado's arrival was marred by the passing of Hana due to complications during childbirth. Unlike many fathers would probably would've resented their child in some way, Soryuken put all his love that he had for his wife into his son and vigorously trained with the boy from the time he was able to stand.

Sado and his father didn't live in luxury, it was quite the opposite in fact. The family lived a simple life in a small wooden home that looked a little worse for wear, especially with the lack of a female within the house. But because of this, Sado began to appreciate the little things in life whereas other, well off, children might take them for granted. This would prove to be a key factor in the development of Sado's personalty.

Sado preferred the training time he spent with his dad to the time's when he was left to his own devices while his father went on missions. The other children often teased Sado because of his appearance and the fact that he had no mother, often resulting in Sado getting in trouble for fighting with others. His father rarely scolded him, more interested in who won the fight and stepping up their training. Once Sado had learned the basics of fighting, his father gave him his first gift, a set of weights intended to strap to one's legs. But Sado, not knowing quite what they were for, considered them bracelets and strapped them to his arms, dragging them around with him everywhere they went. It was then that his father started to train him in the Lightning manipulation, following with the Yotsuki specialty of the Lightning Taijutsu fighting style that came naturally to most with Yotsuki blood. Sado wasn't a genius or learn the styles like they were nothing, it took years of hard training with his father by his side but he accomplished the beginning steps of each.

By the time Sado was 8, he was more than capable of passing the student examinations in Kumogakure and became a newly promoted Genin, ready to serve his Village and Country as best he could.

Personality

Sado is a very humble soul. Having grown up with just his father, living paycheck to paycheck, he has not experienced the modern luxuries of life that one might take for granted. Everything new amazes him, and he is fairly influence able/gullible when listening to the words of a senpai. He is respectful and kind, but his Yotsuki blood does give him a quick temper, which he tries to quell most of the time.

Sado is very loyal and competitive, always wanting to show others that he can be useful and strong in a pinch or whenever needed. He recently has found a rival to compete with and does so whenever they are both around. He helps others without a second thought, part of his proper upbringing from his father.

Appearance

In front of you is a young boy standing around five feet tall. Hints of his short blonde hair is all that can be seen as most of it is covered by a maroon headband, left open to wrap around his head like a cloth with the metal plate holding the Kumogakure symbol placed ontop of his forehead. His skin is darker than any typical Caucasian due to constant exposure to the sun while training high up in the mountains, though it is a heavy tan more than genetic unlike a lot of other ninja around Kumogakure. His face is youthful, any kind of structure still forming as he grows. His sparkling green eyes occasionally hold both determination and sadness.

Sado wears mostly plain clothing, kept in moderate condition, hinting at his family's wealth or lack thereof. Underneath a light grey tank top is training tape wrapped from the young Chuunin's neck all the way down his body. Black fingerless gloves are worn on his hands and up his forearms, and thick metal weights are worn as bracelets, part of the training he undergoes. He wears baggy black cargo pants with a pouch taped to his left leg to hold ninja essentials. On his feet he wears black combat boots, also open at the toes like his gloves were at his fingers.
